THE OLD NAN WAS THERE.

It was dark in the depot one
day In December when the aven-
ing train came in. An elderly
farmer was backed up against the
partition, watching in open-mouth-
ed wonder the big putting engine
and the yellow cars as they dis
charged their passengers, 6hen a
handsome young girl in sssalskin
cloak dashed forward, and, throw
ing herself upon the honest gran
gers manly breast, imprinted a
kiss upon his sun-burned cheek
and exclaimed:
you dear old pa, 1 knew you
would bs waiting for me! And
how's mother and how's John?
AMI, OIL I'm so glad to get back
and where's my trunk? and, OIL
pa, you take the trunk and let's

The granger was old and dried
up, and he had never known what
it was to have a wife, much
less daughter. He mistrusted
the young lady in the sealskin
cloak had made q mistake, but in
stead of stammerlng and hum
ming and hawing,he came gallant
ly up to the scratch, and, throw
ing both arms around the fair
creature, he made up his mind to
be father to her or die in the at
tempt. Imprinting a kiss, like
the report of a pistol, oa her
cheek, hs entb usiastically ejacala-
ted:
"Oh, yer mothers we'll, an John
an Henry, an (smaok) an Jane,
an susan, (smacx, smack), an
Horace, an Belindy, an Calvin
(smack) oh, they're all smart aad
hearty, an
BY the time the young lady's
friends could get to her she had
slid into Stona faint, land thew had
to lug her home in a hack, while
the aged granger, as he finished
the third round with her outraged
young man and saunted oat of the
depot, leaving him with a black
eye and ruptured coat, chuck
led to himself:

Life at Saratora.

The Saratoga correspondent Of the N. Y. Tri-
bune writes "It costs sung sum of money to
spend a summer in Saratoga. During the regular
season the hotels consider that they are doing a
losing business if they charge less than S. day
for single room and board. Some of their cot
tage suites, which consist of parlor and two or
three bedrooms are rented at $3.50 a week. Most
of these apartments at both the larger hotels are
already taken. There are three specially fine
rooms in the Grand Union now occupied by gen.
gleman and his daughter. They pay $40 day
for their fun. Many families here who enjoy
special advantages in the size and location OF their
apartments are taxed in similar figures. When
to this is added the expense Of their servants and
their horses and carriages, it may be seen that to
do the lordly act in Saratoga is not cheap. The
private stables are great feature of the place.
In the fashionable parts of the town the residences
occupy one street and the next one is given up to
stables. Nearly every family occupying cottage
uses its own equestrian establishment. Judge
Hilton keeps no less than twenty horses OF
proud degree. He has great family coach drawn
by four large bay horses, which he uses on exalted
occasions. Signor Garcia, whose name on cigar
box promises pleasant hour, drives couple OF
breezy black mares, who would feel ashamed OF
themselves if they finished mile in more than
2:3O. "Ed" Kearney keeps as many steeds as he
has fingers, and drives them all the time. Josiah
Belden dashes around in Victoria drawn by a
bay and gray. George Bliss, the banker, en-
ploys five nags, three of them being kentucky
sorres trained to the saddle and full of Blue Grass
fire. These are among the owners OF notable
horses When it comes to those who drive the or
binary fashionable turnout their names would
easily fill O column.
